An in-person, Live Kick Off Event will be held on Tuesday, February 9th in the Auditorium. This event will also feature prizes for students as donations are collected.
Students need to enter all of their email addressed into their notes app or a good doc so they can easily copy and paste them into the fundraising system. This will speed up the process for the students so they can spend more time calling their contacts and win prizes.
